Sizeable Vietnamese Dong Son Bronze Axe Head

Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $300**

Ancient Southeast Asia, Vietnam, Dong Son culture, ca. 1000 BCE to 100 CE. A cast leaded-bronze axe head with a curved blade and rounded corners. The short tubular hafting neck is hollow, but infilled with mineral and earthen deposits, with an ovoid socket opening. The casting technique for Dong Son bronzes was artistically and technically demanding, and given archaeological investigation, scholars posit that bronze weapons were made by local workshops staffed by specialists. Size: 4" L x 3.3" W (10.2 cm x 8.4 cm)

Provenance: ex-Nancy and Dr. E.F. Simpson collection, Los Angeles, California, USA, acquired from 1970 to 2000
